I say scoop out the fetus at 4 days old, and probe around it's little gooey blob of a body to extract the stem cells, then have specialists inject those cells into a paraplegic's spinal chord and wait...and wait some more....and eventually get up and get himself a cup of coffee and take himself to the bathroom.

What do you mean by 4 days old? Out of the womb it's no longer a fetus.

Stop watching FOX news.

Conservatives outnumber liberals two to one in the United States.

In fact, they always have. Even most of the people who self-identify as liberal are probably moderately to very conservative.

First, I don't watch/read FOX news. Haven't you heard of stem cell research? They 'harvest' the stem cells out of fetuses which are 4 days old... research suggests these cells are the most malleable...

Also, you're right. Out of the womb it is no longer a fetus...it's a dead fetus...it's also not anyone's problem anymore. 😉

It's based on 8,000 people though... And the largest amount of people selected were Independents... dunno how that comes out as accurate. And Democrats are really mostly moderates anyway with a small amount of liberals, so doesn't necessarily mean there are more Republicans, who in turn aren't all conservative either.
 
Actually, you'll find that polls are very accurate when measuring arbitrarily selected people. Anyway, a lot of people are independents in the US - not everyone is a partisan hack.

But are you gonna say more than 1/3 of Americans are part of the independent party? Thats how many were in the poll.
 
A majority of Americans don't really care about politics but turn on the news every now and them, so a lot of them would just say they are independent if asked.

I'm really worried that you can just claim what people would say and do with out any of those, what are they called, facts?

And, no, I don't consider poll results as facts, you can't because It's not, the results of polls are just guesstimating a small result number into a larger result number...
 
Then how is your opinion valuable? Your one opinion is less valid than if we were to poll a lot of people on how valid polls are.

What? Independent is a political party, it doesn't mean you don't support any party. If that's the case it would just mean they're stupid.

The american constitution does not mention political parties once. If "Independents" are a political party, then what term do you use for people who have none?

They're unregistered then. If by Independents that poll meant unregistered voters it sounds a lot more accurate, but with the current wording it is hard to know what they mean.
 
Well, m ypoint is about people who identify as independent. they could be registered as republicans or democrats, but they dislike both part establishments. The tea party, for example, is entirely non-partisan because they hate the republicans almost as much as they hate the democrats. The democratic party has enraged most of its conservative base. The republican party has also become elitist and there are more and more liberal republicans, which have made republicans angry. What people are registered as really doesn't matter unless they are elected - they vote for whomever they want to.
